    Frequently Asked Questions

    No matter what your source of income is, we've got you covered. There’s a plan for everybody!

    Form 1040-NR is used by non-resident aliens, the individuals who do not have a green card or have passed he substantial presence test. They use this form to report their U.S.-sourced income and stay in compliance with federal tax filing obligations.

    You are required to file Form 1040-NR if you are a non-resident alien who: 

    • Worked in the United States and has earned income like rental, wages, salary, and more. 
    • If you have received taxable scholarships or fellowship grants. 

    Even if you do not have any income, filing Form 1040-NR is necessary to claim exemptions or refunds, if any, and to comply with residency or visa document requirements.

    You can report U.S.-sourced income, such as

    • Wages, salaries, and tips. 
    • Dividends (ordinary and qualifying)
    • Scholarships and fellowship grants. 
    • Capital gains or losses. 
    • IRS, pension, or annuity distributions. 
    • Real estate or farm income. 

    You can enter your SSN, social security number, if eligible. Or else you can use an ITIN, which is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

    For calendar-year taxpayers:

    • April 15, 2025, is the day when you received US source wages subject to withholding. 
    • June 15, 2025, if you did not receive such wages. 

    Depending on your situation, you might need: 

    Schedule A: Itemized deductions.

    Schedule NEC: To report US income not effectively connected to a US business (eg, FDAP income taxed at flat rates)

    Schedule OI: Additional information, such as claiming a treaty benefit. 

    You may be eligible for itemized deductions, such as state taxes and charitable contributions, and claim the treaty-based exemption, or reduce the rates of withholding.

    US source income includes scholarships, investment income, rental income, or the real estate profits that have originated from US-based sources.

    In such a case, you must file Form 4868 by the original deadlines for requesting an extension.

    In a case where you are a dual status alien (resident and nonresident in the same year), then you should file Form 1040 along with Form 1040-NR as an attachment.
